.US Domain Registration

The dot US country-code top-level domain was established in 1985 and assigned to the United States, but it was available to the public in 2002. It is among the most widespread country-specific extensions because quite a lot US enterprises prefer to have a local domain and the US market is one of the largest globally. Many institutions, agencies and local governments also used or still use second-, third- or even fourth-level dot US domains together with their official dot GOV domains.

We are one of the registration providers offering dot US registrations and your new domain will be working within minutes after you order it. The registration interval is between one and ten years and you can also transfer an already registered domain and we will renew it after the transfer process is completed and the domain is registered on our end. Through our Hepsia Control Panel, you will have full control over your domain name – you can edit your contact info, to park your domain, to add custom records, etc.

Solely US citizens, residents, organizations and business entities can buy .US domains, so foreign entities need to have a local presence, while persons from other countries cannot purchase such domains. To carry into effect these requirements, the Registry organization that operates the TLD – Neustar, performs arbitrary audits on existing domain names. This is also the reason for this country-code top-level domain not to support Whois Privacy Protection, so the Registrant (owner) contact details will always be publicly visible upon a WHOIS lookup.
